What has been your highlight today, no matter how big or small? Come share 🫶

Hi everyone! This is my first ever forum post so do hope it lands where it’s meant to 🤣

Most days, I like to find a highlight 😊. Usually, that means during a walk with my dog, I try to spot something different, something cool or something that brings me some happiness. Whether it’s something big or small, it doesn’t matter. A highlight can be anything!

I love taking photos and would really like to share and see what you've come across. Something that made you smile, sparked your interest, or simply caught your eye. For me, it’s all the little things that count on the hard days.


To start, I’d like to share these beautiful birds I came across today. They like to appear like branches of a tree or the tree itself. They are called Tawny Frogmouth’s. Has anyone else seen these types of birds? My pics below -(hopefully not too small to see two in the tree on the left pic).

What have you seen today? ☀️💛🙏

She sounds great!! @Chasingsunsets Good on you for going and challenging yourself after some time off, it's always so hard reigniting the habit of doing something hard. 💪

Dare I ask how your body feels today? 😅

I am trying to do more at-home workouts through Alo Moves. They are amazing!

@PeppyPatti I'm sitting outside my pharmacy (the fact I call it my pharmacy says something about the amount of times I go there - the staff know me by name!)

and thinking of you. I'm using my Vodafail data and have 1 bar as coverage is shite.

If I leave the metro area I lose coverage altogether. Not good for when visiting the fam in 2J.

How are you my sweet?

If I could send you a bunch of flowers, I'd send you 2 xoxo 🫂 🤗 🥰

@REDLINEZ750 I think this forum's "society" is very different from the rest of Australia "society" and the global "society". 😊. Here it can be safe to stuff up by accident (not that you have! but just saying it would be OK to make a mistake).

I like your posts. 🙂 I have not felt you are repeating yourself. And even if I did - so what? Life can feel very repetitive sometimes! I like your honest and spades-a-spade style. 🙂 I value it. And I value you.

And just for your own mental assurance - if you ever said something to me that I felt was crossing/pushing a boundary, I would kindly let you know for the future, and not think anything bad of you. 🙂 How can someone be expected to know if they are not told?! I don't expect you will push any boundaries with me, but I can assure you that if you do by accident it will not be a problem and I will let you know in a friendly, caring way so that we can continue to have a great online friendship and mutual support. 😊. I hope this can help even just the tiniest to calm those fears when they rear their ugly head.

@REDLINEZ750 a lot can go into the posts here.

Thank you. I valued your long post in its rawness and vulnerability. I have felt like a social reject for a very long time, and could really relate to the fear of rejection and the gratitude and the sad experience it can be living in a mad bad world, when it is like that. Gradually I am finding connections out there in society, but it is hard work. I think all the normies need some counseling. Sadly, many don’t. If they are honest about life, I am trying a little sashay and 2 step….Wish me luck as I do my sunset tangos….

@Glisten @AuntGlow @Bunniekins @ENKELI @Chasingsunsets and all reading along.

Wishing all a good day. Not a good day for me today so far. 🙁 Down, tired and drained and at times nauseated.

My highlight? i went to Town with my wife anyhow, and we bought some more herbs and large pots to grow them in on our veranda, and said hallo to our daughter and dropped of her new puzzle table.

Knacked now though!😵

(Hopefully i pick up for we still have three roosters to silence and prepare so we have some more meat for our three very eager canine friends.😄)

It feels like @REDLINEZ750

That your coming from a place like many of us -- been not able to be vulnerable and write exactly how you feel for many years.

And that's exhausting.

I personally feel listened to. I'm slowly drawing pictures for a couple of sane members because - weird I know - they have shown gentle pushes for me to draw.

My past story, my past trauma was to destroy every part of me because I'm so vulnerable and "I have deeply conflicted feelings about myself.

I think that means self hatred.

Oh I was just writing about you. I may have forgotten to tag you but it was about gentle pushes on my drawing.

I just love how even our lives have ricocheted through generations of ancestors.

@ENKELI I like to help her out whenever I can. She has really been struggling since my dad passed away two years ago.

@DownMoreThanUp sorry to hear today has felt a bit down. *hugs*. Hope this afternoon/evening picks up for you. Anything specifically you know of that has your feeling in the mixer?

Fresh meat - I'm sure you dogs will be very happy tonight!

@PeppyPatti I have enjoyed seeing your drawings when I saw them posted. 🙂 I saw earlier in the week the one with people reaching up into the sky. 😊
